+Each subject does not require a whole day to be able to understand it fully, and you can do multiple of these in a day. Some might take a few days.

|
|
+**Note: These languages listed below are not all necessary**, but I wanted to learn and experiment in these. You need only one language for the interview, so make it one you're comfortable with.

Each day I take one subject from the list below, watch videos about that subject, and write an implementation in:
|
|
|
- C - using structs and functions that take a struct * and something else as args.
|
|
|
- C++ - without using built-in types
|
|
|
- C++ - using built-in types, like STL's std::list for a linked list
|
|
|
- Python - using built-in types (to keep practicing Python)
|
|
|
- and write tests to ensure I'm doing it right, sometimes just using simple assert() statements
|
|
|
- You may do Java or something else, this is just my thing.

Why code in all of these?
|
|
|
- Practice, practice, practice, until I'm sick of it, and can do it with no problem (some have many edge cases and bookkeeping details to remember)
|
|
|
- Work within the raw constraints (allocating/freeing memory without help of garbage collection (except Python))
|
|
|
- Make use of built-in types so I have experience using the built-in tools for real-world use (not going to write my own linked list implementation in production)
